For Oppressed ireland.

QUEBEC, May l2.--In his speech here
tonight o. Brien said he had to express his
Acknowledgements, not merely to his friends
but to his opponents. for the courtesy and
fair play he had received up to the present
time. He believed that a good many preju-
dices and MISUNDERSTANDING which had
arisen with reference to his visit We're being
already dispelled, ana expressed confidence
that the more the subject was thrashed out
the more severely every human aud liberty
loving man in Canada would condemn the
conduct of Lord Lansdowne; and more, they
would recognize that his visit was the only
means left to avert the total de-
structOn of an entire community OF
oppressed and cruelty wronged tenants. The
Irish people had not sought this quarrel with
Lord lIansdowne. lie had himself forced 1t
by making himself the champion and stand
ard-bearer OF the worst and moS inhuman
class of rack-renters in Ireland. Tllsses
"rhe Montreal Herald of to-day he con-
tinued, took up the position, with which
do not for one moment quarrel, that the
Canadian people would not take on the
statement or others the assertion that
Lord l.ansdowne was as black as he was
painted until the other side was heard from.
| invite or challenge Lord Lansdownc to
answer or dispute a single fact which the
Herald says should not be accepted until he
has had an opportunity of doing this"
O'Bren continued his address with an
eloquent peroraton. predicting an early de.
liverance from landordism in Ireland and
from the curse and from abomination OF

More UnfavorabIe Comment.

LONDON, May 12.-ISpecial Cablegram to
the BEE. The Daily Telegraph, comment
ing on O'Brien's trip, says: ''If the fortunes
of Mr. O'Brien's tour are correctly fore
shadowed by the incidents of his landing we
may expect lively proceedings. The public
intelligence of Canada ought to rebel against
O'Brien's impudent propaganda, and if it
does it is quite possible the revolt may rise to
an indignant height and lead to rotous col
lisOns."
The Standard this morning says: "Glad =
stones speech is so extraordinary that it is
difficult to regard as serious the utterances of
n statesman who has been thrice premier 1t
will add fresh strength to the disaffected ele-
ments in Ireland and will lend impetus to
the renewed struggle against the authority
of civil government. If anything could in
duce the Nationals not to yield in their eff
forts to make unwrltten laws supreme 1t
would be the opinion Mr.. Gladstone has seen
fit to deliver on the morality of boycOtting
and his justification of that most cruel and
tyranncal of the leagues methods"
